Pleased With Northern Michigan Moves and Farm Sale
Northern Michigan settlers Irwin and family, recently relocating from Emmet county to the upper peninsula, report good health and crops. A reader asks to change delivery to Dryburg Michigan. W. L. Wertabaugher of Saskatchewan closed a $180 per acre deal with J. M. Cumwuinga for the southeast quarter of section 18, Center township, via Person & Pitcher land agency, with plans to move next spring. The price is fair, not a fancy rate, and nearby Iowa farms are cheaper.

New Game Laws Tighten Migratory Bird Protections
New regulations set October 1 as the start of revised game laws by the United States government. The rules limit bird shooting times, establish a protected corridor along the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, and list protected species including waterfowl cranes rails shore birds pigeons and many insectivorous birds with seasonal closed periods varying by state. A hearing by the secretary of agriculture is possible on valid objections. A separate report from Ringsted Dispatch details a tragic accident where Ira Toothman’s five year old son lost most of his foot in a mower incident on a Hallstead farm and doctors strive to save the limb.
